The BPP Grant Program

BPP Grant

The BPP Grant Program provides funding for WCB departments and business clubs and organizations to create and deliver major-relatedcareer programs and activities. Selected events also receive BUAD/BPP Elective Credit. As many as ten grants up to $500 will be awarded in academic year 2017-2018.

Examples might include but are not limited to:

Panel discussion on careers and opportunities in a specific business major, discipline or industry

Keynote speaker relevant to your major/field/industry

Major-related resume critiques with alums or business people

Networking with business executives or alums in your major

Workshops to develop needed soft skills in your field

Meet the Firms or similar event to explore careers and firms related to your major

Next Steps

If approved, awardees will be announced on our WCB Facebook page. The event will be added to the weekly BPP emails and on the monitor in Smith Atrium. We can provide guidance on promotion/advertising, room reservations, expenses/purchasing, emailing majors, BPP sign-in sheets, catering, risk-management, etc.

Awardees/student clubs and organizations will be responsible for all program logistics, room reservations, marketing and promotion and keeping names at the event. Sign-in sheets must be signed by your faculty/advisor and turned into Lauren Costanzo, who will award BPP credit.

Groups are encouraged to share more about their events on social media. We can help with access to our WCB Undergraduate FB page and other WCB social media.
